In today's episode, I'm interviewing Anya Bergman, a seasoned tarot reader and prolific author whose latest novel, The Tarot Reader of Versailles, tells the real-life story of Marie Antoinette’s personal tarot reader, Marie Ann Lenormand.
Not only does The Tarot Reader of Versailles shine a light on the forgotten history of one of tarot’s greatest heroines, it also includes practical tarot applications — including spreads that guide the action of the novel and instructions on how to read the tarot alongside the characters on the page.
The Tarot Reader of Versailles is available from all major bookshops in the UK now, and international readers can order it from Blackwells, which ships worldwide. Buy it from your preferred UK bookseller | Buy it from Blackwells
